The Elk Mountain Pilot is surely
not acquainted with the recources Of
Delta county. In recent issue. In
speaking of the bill now before the
House for an appropriation toward
bridging the Gunnison river. he says;
Mr.. Wade, the member from Delta.
who introduced the bill. spoke in favor
OF the bill by saying that Delta county
WAS not able to build the bridge but he
forgot to say that there was hardly
enough there to MAINTAIN county or
ganization aud that the territory should
be annexed to Montrose county. Bet
ter turn the appropriation over to the
emigration bureau and make an effort
to get some people into the country.
People are needed worse than bridges"
Before making such assertions. the
Pilot should endeavor to post himself
ls to what Delta county really is and
what her prospects are. He should
take IN consideration her thousands Of
acres Of the finest agricultural land in
:lle world ;lier immense coal beds; her
splendid ranges; he should compare
the price of her warrants with those
of djoiAing c. unties; he should know
that her assessed valuation for 1885
was nearly 100000 and her popula-
tiOn over 5000 aud Increasing daily.
before he talks of annexing US to
Montrose county. 1t is not alone for
the benefit Of Delta county that the ap-
preparation is asked for, but to accom-
modate the through travel from adjoin-
ing counties. Mesa county got III ap-
preparation for this same travel, and
why not Delta county? Again. part
Of Montrose county lies on the north
side Of the Gunnison river. and is it
right for Delta county to build bridges
for their accommodation, especially. il

enough here tO MAINTAIN II county Or

This society met IN the court house
last Saturday to exchange views and
experience about fruit and berry cul-
ture. W. listened with great interest
to the practical views expressed by
leading fruit growers and nurserymen
of Guilford who were there assembled.
Rev. j. J. Jones was in the chair and
Mr.. Mccormick, ST., was secretary. j.
Van Lindley, j. G. Lindley, Mr.. Ward,
DR.. Benbow, Mr.. Coe and others dis
cussed the subjects. 1t was generally
agreed that there would be a full crop
of late fruit, and probably an average
of half a crop of the early varieties.
Nh. Lindley said that fruit with a
small bloom had been greatly damaged,
but all of the large bloom classes
would yield a full crop. There is a
good prospect for plenty of strawber-
ries and cherries.
DR.. Benbow brought up the subject
Of raising apples, and keeping them
through the winter into spring. He
passed around some northern apples
(which served as a tolerably good
midday lunch). This apple, the Doc
tor said, was the best he could find for
table use at this time of the year and
they cost $3.50 a bushel. He asked
why we could not raise our apples
here and have them the year round.
MI. Lindley said it could be done.
That he knew no better fruit soil and
climate than Guilford county afforded.
In his opinion the people were neglect
ing their fruit trees, and nothing could
be expected unless the same care was
given fruit as other productions. Then
again there should be experiments
made in keeping fruit. He said half
the time bestowed on preserving sweet
potatoes would develop a sure method
of keeping apples, and the crop would
require less labor and yield ten times
the income. On motion of DIR. Ben
bow, it was resolved that each mem
Der Of the association make a careful
experiment during the coming year of
keeping apples, and report the result
at the next annual meeting. The
whole discussion was of great interest.
1t covered all the practical points in
horticulture.
The suggestion of Mr.. j. Van Lind
ley hat the society hold monthly
meetings was a good one. They ought
to have a hall for permanent use,
which could be made a resort for all
persons interested in growing fruit
and berries. By proper exertion,
Guilford county can be made the
centre of a great fruit growing region,
and Greensboro a large fruit canning
place.-Norh State.

USE OF LIME AND MANURE.-Our
correspondent, who has a quantity OF
air-slaked lime, will undoubtedly find
it useful applied to his land containing
most vegetable matter at the rate OF
thirty to fifty bushels per acre. It
would probably do least good upon
the knolls, as these have presumably
less vegetable matter than the lower
land bellows them. Lime is a great
decomposer, but otherwise is not of
much value. 1t produces little effect
on very poor land. But by using his
lime on low lands and the n on
knobs he will probably get better re,
suits than by any other mode of using
it .-Amerqcan Cuhavator.

And sailed from the little one standing there;
